Career As Harare Mayoress
Masunda was the first mayoress in the history of Harare City Council to have a vehicle dedicated for her use. Before a US$30 000 4x4 Isuzu LX twin-cab was bought for Fikile Masunda's use, mayoress' were either driven with their spouses when attending civic duties or an official vehicle would be assigned to pick them up and drop them off.[1]
In July 2011, Councillors accused her of abusing a council vehicle she used to travel to Chiredzi to play golf.
The Councillors argued that Fikile Masunda was not supposed to travel to Chiredzi using a council vehicle for the golf tournament. She travelled with two officials, a driver and an aide.[2]
